The Perfect Hand: Can You Be Too Qualified?
Anthony Cometti is a technologist at heart. He first began tooling around with computers in the late 1980s, while he was still working in the food service industry. He felt there had to be a more efficient way to do his paperwork, so, taking cues from contemporary spreadsheet applications, he automated the company's pen-and-paper process. His accomplishment not only gained him a little notoriety among his peers, it also whet his development appetite. A short time later, Cometti embarked on a new career path in the IT field.
During the next decade, Cometti worked his way up the management ranks, earning certifications along the way. It wasn't until he'd reached the vice president level that he realized he'd effectively lost touch with the technical aspect of the field — the part he originally had enjoyed so much. So he put himself back on the job market to search for a more hands-on role — a position he finds himself in today. The only hitch?
"I'm being beat up a little by employers who see that management and consulting experience on my resume and [think], 'This guy is a senior manager in an IT organization. Why does he want to do development work?'" Cometti said. "They get a little squirrely."
There are many reasons an IT professional may want to take a career step backward: A project manager may want to get back into the technical side, a senior leader may want a new job with no direct…

Childhood LCH
Risk Factors
Children and adolescents with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) should be treated by a multidisciplinary team of health professionals who are experienced with this disease and its treatment. This multidisciplinary team approach incorporates the skills of the primary care physician, pediatric surgical subspecialists, radiation oncologists, pediatric medical oncologists/hematologists, rehabilitation specialists, pediatric nurse specialists, social workers, and others to ensure that children receive treatment, supportive care, and rehabilitation that will achieve optimal survival and quality of life. (Refer to the PDQ Supportive and Palliative Care summaries for specific information about supportive care for children and adolescents with cancer.)
Clinical trials organized by the Histiocyte Society have been accruing patients on childhood treatment studies since the 1980s. Information on centers enrolling patients on these trials can be found on the NCI Web site.
Because of treatment advances, the outcome for children with LCH involving high-risk organs (spleen, liver, and bone marrow) has improved.[1,2] The high-risk designation comes from the high mortality rate (35%) in those who do not respond well to therapy in the first 6 weeks. The outcome for children with LCH involving low-risk organs (skin, bones, lymph nodes, and pituitary gland) has always been excellent, but the major challenge is to reduce the 20% to 30% incidence of recurrent lesions.
Children with high-risk or low-risk disease should be followed annually to document and attempt to correct adverse side effects of therapy or the disease. (Refer to the Late Disease and Treatment Effects of Childhood LCH section of this summary for more information about the incidence, type, and monitoring of late effects of childhood cancer and its therapy.)Incidence
The incidence of LCH has been estimated to be two to ten cases per million children aged 15 years or younger.[3,4] The male/female (M/F) ratio is close to one and the median age of presentation is 30 months.[5] A report from Stockholm County, Sweden described an incidence of 8.9 cases of LCH per million children with a total of 29 cases in 10 years.[6] A majority of these cases were diagnosed between September and February (M/F = 1.2). A 4-year survey of 251 new LCH cases in France found an unusual incidence of 4.6 per million children younger than 15 years (M/F = 1.2).[7] Identical twins with LCH, and non-twin siblings or multiple cases in one family, have been reported.[8] A survey of LCH in northwest England (Manchester) revealed an overall incidence of 2.6 cases per million child years.[9]
Over 90% of adult pulmonary LCH occurs in young adults who smoke, often more than 20 cigarettes per day.[10,11]Risk Factors
Solvent exposure in parents, family history of cancer, and perinatal infections have a weak association with LCH, but there is no increase in cases after viral epidemics.[12,13] An increased frequency of family members with thyroid disease has been reported in white patients.[14]Prognosis
Prognosis is closely linked to the extent of disease at presentation and whether high-risk organs (liver, spleen, and/or bone marrow) are involved. Patients with single-system disease and low-risk multisystem disease do not usually die from LCH, but recurrent disease may result in considerable morbidity and significant late effects.[15]
Prognostic factors in LCH have been identified and can be categorized as follows:
- Age at diagnosis: Although age younger than 2 years was once thought to portend a worse prognosis, data from the LCH-II study showed that patients aged 2 years or younger without high-risk organ involvement had the same response to therapy as older patients.[2] By contrast, the overall survival was poorer in neonates with risk-organ involvement compared with infants and children with the same extent of disease.
- Response to treatment: Response to therapy at 6 to 12 weeks has been shown to be a more important prognostic factor than age.[16] The overall response to therapy is influenced by the duration and intensity of treatment.[1,2]
- Organ involvement: Involvement of craniofacial bones including orbital, mastoid, and temporal bones is associated with an increased risk of diabetes insipidus in addition to increased frequency of anterior pituitary hormone deficiencies and neurologic problems. (Refer to the Endocrine system subsection in the Multisystem Disease Presentation section of this summary for more information on diabetes insipidus.)

Randolph County Sheriff David Cofield said Montoreous Heard, 16, has been charged with capital murder in connection with the shooting death of his father, Alton Heard, 44, in Wedowee sometime Sunday night. Heard is being charged as an adult, Cofield said.
Heard is also the suspect in a shooting at a gas station in Roanoke around 8 p.m. that killed Richard Jones and left Jones' wife Mary in critical condition, said Roanoke police Chief Adam Melton.
The Roanoke Police Department responded to a call about a shooting at 431 Fuel Connections along U.S. 431 around 8 p.m. Sunday, Melton said. Mary Jones had suffered multiple gunshot wounds, while Richard Jones had suffered one gunshot wound to the chest. Both were airlifted to Columbus Medical Center in Georgia, Melton said. Richard Jones died during transportation. Mary Jones was later taken to the University of Alabama Birmingham Medical Center and was in critical condition as of 2 p.m., Melton said.
Melton said surveillance footage at the gas station showed a man walking into the store and shooting Mary Jones, who was working at the counter, before shooting Richard. The couple's two teenage children were present at the shooting, but fled through a back door and were unharmed, Melton said.
Melton said he did not know the ages of the couple, but knew them personally and said they were fixtures in the community.
A motive for the crime is unknown. Melton said no money was stolen from the store, but the suspect did take a pack of cigarettes.
The suspect left in a white Ford truck, Melton said.
Deputies from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office were assisting Roanoke police in the crime scene investigation, Sheriff Cofield said, when Cofield received a call about a shooting at County Road 809 near Wedowee. Investigators found the body of Alton Heard, who had suffered a gunshot wound. Shortly afterward, deputies apprehended Montoress Heard, who was walking near the crime scene.
Cofield said deputies recovered a white Ford truck Monday morning, abandoned a mile off of the highway. Cofield said the truck belonged to Alton Heard.
Melton said Roanoke police also have collected the handgun they believed was used in both shootings. He said they've also collected clothing from the suspect. Heard was charged in Randolph County with capital murder but had not been charged in Roanoke as of 2 p.m. Melton said investigators were gathering evidence and getting an update on the condition of Mary Jones. Melton said they would seek capital murder charges in Roanoke.
Cofield said the motive for the shootings was unknown, but said an altercation likely took place between Heard and his father.

The cost is $8.95 for adults and $6.95 for kids. When you enter the first exhibit, the first things that greet you are the silly penguins. They are a riot as they waddle around their make-shift iceberg. You can watch them from all sides. I could spend the whole day here.
The aquarium has shows through out the day. They will announce them over the loud speaker and when you hear a show called, head for the area they tell you. The shows do fill up. We love the sea lion show. Those guys sure are smart and Patrick was lucky enough to be picked for the show. His favorite part was getting kissed by a very large sea lion.
The special exhibit this summer was on jelly fish. It was interesting and a little surreal to see the tanks full of jelly fish just floating in the water. We learned a lot about these creatures.
The aquarium is also attached to the IMAX Theater. We did not go, but you can buy a combination ticket of aquarium and IMAX Theater. There is also a good gift shop with plenty of books about the sea life you visited today.

The Aquarium's biggest attraction is the large central tank. You wind your way up around the tank or choose an inlet to view the fish. The tanks contains over 100 different species of marine wildlife, from sharks to giant sea turtles to 'rays. From one spot, you can watch the whole tank swim by. Sometimes it is exciting to watch one of the marine biologists dive into the tank to feed the fish.
The penguins are another major attraction. The penguin exhibit stretches around the central tank on the first floor. There are several types of penguins, from South American rockhoppers to African penguins to the Little Blues. The aquarium rescued many of these little guys from oil spills. We enjoyed watching a hyperactive penguin as he flipped, jumped and swam around the exhibit.
Along the outside walls of the Aquarium, you can see fish in a variety of reconstructed environments, from the Amazon river to the Boston harbor. One perennial favorite is the dark room with the flashlight fish. The shark exhibit is currently being remodeled.
The Sea Lion show goes on periodically throughout the day. When you are choosing seats in the dual-sided auditorium, remember that the front seats sometimes get splashed. This is less true now than it was in earlier times. Today's sea lion shows only showcase one sea lion, and focus on conservation and ecology. I think this is a valuable lesson for children to learn, and is far more important than having the sea lions jump through hoops. Of course, the massive lions still display their balancing skill with the classic ball-on-nose trick. Children are selected from the audience to participate in the demonstration and kissed by the Sea Lion. Our exhibition featured Guthrie, who obviously decided to go into premature retirement. He repeatedly left the arena to return to his den, but he did eventually perform all the tricks.
The Harbor Seals are a Boston classic. Two colonies live at the Aquarium. One is visible from the outside of the Aquarium, and the other from the back side. A harbor seal is the New England version of a California Sea Lion, smaller and grey in color.
The Aquarium makes a great half-day trip, and when combined with Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market and dinner in the North End, you will be exposed to some of Boston's best sights. Children could probably spend much longer here, fascinated with the fish.
There is a great deal of walking and children may grow tired. Because of the ramps, the Aquarium is accessible to the differently-abled.
The gift shop at the entrance is quite large, offering quite an array of fishy delights, stuffed and otherwise. Most of the items appeal to children, although there is some adult fish-wear.

The Aquarium is a large cement structure on one of the downtown wharfs, although a few exhibits are on boats or barges berthed along the dock.
Inside, the penguins are one of the highlights inside the main aquarium building. When you walk through the lobby, the main floor is looking down on a large penguin pool, covering the whole floor of the building. Spectators can watch the birds climbing on the rocks and swimming with surprising grace across the pool. During the day, these birds get fed, and visitors are invited to watch.
The penguins may be one of the best parts of the aquarium, but there is much more to see. The building is large and spacious (but dark), and there are walkways close to the walls ramping up to the top of the building. There are displays along most of the walls as you walk up. Along the side you enter on, running the long length of the building, there are skeletons of various sea creatures, giving visitors an idea of the size of some of the aquatic life forms we have. On the two narrow sides are your typical fish tanks. These sides serve as the landings as though you are walking up a large staircase. On one such landing is small pool where people are invited to touch the animals on display.
Connected to one of the sets of landings is a large cylinder tank. There is a ramp around this tank, and people can walk up or down around it instead of the other walkways. This tank is a large reef habitat, which also houses numerous species of sharks. Many times you can observe aquarium employees diving in scuba suits into the pool in order to feed or check up on the inhabitants of the reef.
During the summer months and in the proper seasons, the aquarium offers whale watch tours aboard the Voyager hydrofoil. This whale watch seems to have better whale-finding technology than the others offered such tours offered in Boston. This is because it's not just a sightseeing endeavor for the aquarium, but these trips also allow the marine biologists do research on the whales.
This is one of my favorite aquariums in the world. Many of the others I have been to feel rundown or small. I don't feel that way about the New England Aquarium. Not only is this building large, but the space within is used pretty well. There is a section that focuses on conservation and the clean-up of the Bay, which this place does better than most of its peers. This is another touch that makes this place better in my eyes.

To be honest, while the aquarium is a nice diversion, it is not nearly as large as some of the other aquariums I have been to around the country. This surprised me. It seemed as if we zoomed through the whole place in no time. Still, if you have kids in tow, it might be worth a look.

The New England Aquarium is a stunner, all giddy angles, soaring open spaces, arching bridges, and a huge central fish tank, dramatically lit and viewed from surrounding spiraling ramps. It's clear that Chermayeff understood what most attracts visitors to aquariums: the feeling of being undersea, right among the swimming sharks, shoals of silvery herring, and pulsating sea anemones. The aquarium is yet another of Boston's seminal Big Ideas.
Any good aquarium has a dual purpose: to delight and to educate. The exhibit that dominates the ground level of the New England Aquarium, featuring three types of penguins from South Africa, South America, and Australia, does just that. Penguins are everywhere – loudly calling out to one another (who knew penguins were so vocal?), hopping about on the rocks, and diving awkwardly into the water, unexpectedly transformed underwater into sleek black torpedoes. Fascinated, we stood by the rail watching an aquarium caretaker hand-feed a group of golden-crested Rockhopper penguins. They were surprisingly picky eaters.
Proceeding through the aquarium, we viewed tanks representing different aquatic environments – everything from the frigid Puget Sound to the languid warmth of the Amazon River Basin. No doubt setting up such a diversity of marine environments posed hefty technical challenges. One of my favorite displays recreates the effects of crashing waves on a Pacific tidal pool. In time to a mesmerizing ocean-like rhythm, the tentacles of colorful anemones swirled wildly, tossed by artificial waves. Nearby, visitors entered a darkened corridor, stood for a moment adjusting to the darkness, then gasped in surprise at the intermittent flicker of bioluminescent deep-reef fish.
The heart of this aquarium, though, is one of the world's largest round saltwater tanks, representing a Caribbean coral reef. Visitors walk around outside the four-story artificial reef, viewing its shelves and crevices. Well over a hundred species are present, though the stars of the show are the huge sea turtles and a ferocious-looking (but generally harmless) nurse shark. Luck was with us: it was feeding time. We watched in awe as a massive green moray eel snaked over a diver's shoulder to gently take food from her hand. Vying for her attention, a balloonfish clownishly begged for (and received) a handout.
The aquarium is open Mon-Tues-Fri 9-6, Wed-Thurs. 9-8, and 9-7 weekends and holidays. In addition to the exhibits, there are whale watching tours, an Imax theatre, a wildlife rehabilitation center, a floating pavilion featuring sea-lion presentations, and an Exploration Center with numerous educational activities. A café with harbor views and a lively gift shop round off the New England Aquarium experience.

Oahu and Maui hotels have scored spectacular occupancy rates, in the 80 percent to 90 percent range, during the past two years. And the islands' popularity as a meetings and incentives destination has drawn the interest of the big hotel corporations and generated an explosion of new hotel building — and, where there is no room to build, the razing, upgrading, enlarging, and rebranding of properties. Outrigger Enterprises Group, long a local hotel company, started the trend by razing six of its tired properties in Waikiki and going upscale.
Waikiki Beach Walk, an eight-acre retail, entertainment, and hotel development, is taking shape. A dozen shops are open in the 93,000-square-foot complex. Also open is Hilton's new Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk.
On the 65th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the new Pacific Aviation Museum opened in a World War II hangar that still wears the scars of December 7, 1941. The new attraction at the USS Arizona/Pearl Harbor Memorial, Hangar 79 holds restored vintage aircraft, interactive displays, a theater, and a restaurant like the one where aviators grabbed a quick meal before their missions or chalked up their hits afterward. Hangar 79 is dedicated to the Pacific battles of WWII, and Hangar 54, a future expansion, will focus on the Korean, Vietnam, and Cold wars.
The state has enacted a Smoke-Free-Hawaii law; however, hotels can designate up to 20 percent of their rooms as "smoking rooms," but they have the option of banning smoking in the hotel entirely.
Facility Updates
The Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio has completed a $65 million renovation to all of its 601 guest rooms, 17,000 square feet of meeting space, and public areas.
The Ala Moana Hotel has completed a multimillion-dollar renovation, updating all 1,154 guest rooms and 67 suites.
The Outrigger's Embassy Suites-Waikiki Beach Walk opened in January with 421 rooms and 1,965 square feet of meeting space. The hotel will be adjacent to the Trump International Hotel, which is expected to open in 2009.
Turtle Bay Resort has finished a $70 million renovation that included the construction of the 9,340-square-foot Kuilima Ballroom.
Starwood's June 1 rebranding of the Sheraton Moana Surfrider to the Westin name will coincide with a completed renovation of its 793 guest rooms, a lobby facelift, addition of a spa in the Surfrider Tower, and a Westin Kids Club.
Big Island of Hawaii
The 540-room Fairmont Orchid has been renovated. Included in the renovation were 18 meeting rooms.
Hilton Waikoloa Village will complete a $61 million capital improvement project in December.
The Outrigger Waipouli Beach Resort & Spa, with 153 two-bedroom suites and 37 one-bedroom suites, opened in December on Kauai's east coast.
The Kauai Beach Hotel & Resort became the Hilton Kauai Beach Resort after an $18 million renovation. The resort has 13,000 square feet of indoor meeting space.
The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua will close in July for a $95 million, six-month renovation. Room count will be reduced to 466. The hotel has nine meeting rooms.
The 463-room Royal Lahaina Resort completed a $30 million renovation in mid-February.
The Grand Wailea Resort Hotel & Spa, part of the Waldorf-Astoria Collection on Maui, has added yet another feature, one popular with attendees turning a meeting or incentive into a family vacation. Surrounded by the ocean and the picturesque Wailea Blue Golf Course, Ho'olei at Grand Wailea shares all the resort's amenities and offers three-bedroom, two-story town homes with three and a half baths, modern kitchens, private lanai, and even interior elevators. The Grand Wailea has 22 banquet, meeting, and boardrooms, and the largest ballroom on Maui, the 28,000-square-foot Haleakala Ballroom.

Even though Hawaii's hotel room rates keep rising, meeting planners can get a 50 percent price break on Hawai'i Convention Center space and a plethora of destination services if they book before the end of 2007.
The Hawaii VCB and SMG Hawaii, which operates the Hawai'i Convention Center, have joined forces to launch BusinessAloha.com, a Web site dedicated to supplying meeting planners with the information and resources needed to bring a group to the Hawaiian Islands.
Low-cost ATA Airlines will increase its flight capacity to Hawaii in June, adding daily flights between Oakland and the cities of Honolulu, Kona, and Lihue, and between Las Vegas and Maui.

From Maui, arrange for your attendees to take in Molokai, a less developed island, with a cruise on the Molokai Princess and 18 holes of par-72 golf at Kaluakoi.

Dakota Supply Group ups their security after copper stolen.Grand Forks, ND (WDAY TV) - After getting more than $200,000 worth of copper stolen, Dakota Supply Group employees say they're beefing up security in all of their stores.
By: Kayla Strayer, WDAZ, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - After getting more than $200,000 worth of copper stolen, Dakota Supply Group employees say they're beefing up security in all of their stores.
In March, about $125,000 worth of copper was stolen from the Grand Forks Dakota Supply store. Then, the Fargo branch was hit in April.
John Rosell- Warehouse Manager: "I think Fargo was about $150,000."
Soon after, Luis Perez Jr. of Moorhead, Elvis Hasimovic and Sabastijan Tahirovic, both of Fargo were arrested for the thefts.
Rosell: They had a rental vehicle, and they were at a gas station and somebody noticed the wire hanging out of the back.
Before the thefts, Grand Forks store employee Tanner Trosen says they were an open door for criminals.
Tanner Trosen- Dakota Supply Group Employee: "We might as well have put a sign out front saying free copper."
It's a different story now.
Trosen: We made sure to get security systems in all the branches.
About 25 Dakota Supply Group's in several states now have security cameras and alarm systems.
Rosell: We have outside cameras that cover all angles of the building, all approaches. We also have internal security. We have bigger, better locks.
Warehouse Manager John Rosell estimates at least $5,000 being invested in each store since the thefts.
Rosell: You just never expect it to happen, and then once it happens it opens your eyes.
Trosen: This is an employee owned company, so it doesn't just affect the company, it affects every one of us that works here.
Employees with the Grand Forks store say they haven't had any theft problems since the security system was installed.

Pipeline poll shows most against Northern Gateway
A new poll has found 61 per cent of B.C. residents oppose Enbridge's proposed Northern Gateway pipeline, while support is at 35 per cent.
And the Insights West online survey found opponents of the project are more entrenched – 38 per cent are strongly opposed, compared to just 11 per cent who strongly support the new route for crude oil across northwestern B.C. to Kitimat.
"The negative side has continued to build momentum," said Insights West president Steve Mossop, citing a hardening of opinions against Enbridge in a series of polls since last spring.
"Opinions are becoming much stronger," he said, likening the Enbridge issue to the crystallization of public opinion against logging in Clayoquot Sound in the 1990s.
"It's a bit of a snowball effect," Mossop said. "And it becomes very difficult to change a very entrenched position like that."
It's a different story in Alberta, where the survey, which polled 512 B.C. residents and 562 Albertans, found 75 per cent support for the project.
Respondents in both provinces agreed by large margins that the pipeline will create new jobs, support economic growth and create new capital investment.
But environmental concerns – the risk of ocean spills as well as pipeline construction impacts on land – trumped the economic benefits for most B.C. residents.
"Even the negative side recognize the benefits," Mossop said. "They're just not being persuaded that the down sides are worth the risks."
Men in both provinces were more likely than women to support building the pipeline.
The margin of error is plus or minus 4.1 per cent 19 times out of 20.

Responsible adults know that driving drunk is deadly. Avoiding it is the smart, and only, choice.
Saying that, we're intrigued by a recommendation from the National Transportation Safety Board for states to drop their drunk-driving thresholds to 0.05 from 0.08.
Statistics,the NTSB report says, show that European nations that have adopted the 0.05 limit — roughly one drink for 120-pound women and two drinks for 160-pound men — have significantly reduced their DUI fatalities in the last 10 years.
That's enough reason to give this recommendation serious thought.
Nevertheless, along with that must come our continued efforts to change Americans' viewpoints on driving drunk.
At the end of the day, it's bad decisions that lead people to get behind the wheel when they shouldn't. That's never acceptable.

Summary of Gang Leader for a Day Summary of Gang Leader for a Day Reviews for Gang Leader for a Day An Excerpt from Gang Leader for a Day
A New York Times Bestseller
Foreword by Stephen J. Dubner, coauthor of Freakonomics
When first-year graduate student Sudhir Venkatesh walked into an abandoned building in one of Chicago's most notorious housing projects, he hoped to find a few people willing to take a multiple-choice survey on urban poverty--and impress his professors with his boldness. He never imagined that as a result of this assignment he would befriend a gang leader named JT and spend the better part of a decade embedded inside the projects under JT's protection. From a privileged position of unprecedented access, Venkatesh observed JT and the rest of his gang as they operated their crack-selling business, made peace with their neighbors, evaded the law, and rose up or fell within the ranks of the gang's complex hierarchical structure. Examining the morally ambiguous, highly intricate, and often corrupt struggle to survive in an urban war zone, Gang Leader for a Day also tells the story of the complicated friendship that develops between Venkatesh and JT--two young and ambitious men a universe apart.
"Riveting." --The New York Times
"Compelling... dramatic... Venkatesh gives readers a window into a way of life that few Americans understand." --Newsweek
"An eye-opening account into an underserved city within the city." --Chicago Tribune
"The achievement of Gang Leader for a Day is to give the dry statistics a raw, beating heart." --The Boston Globe
"A rich portrait of the urban poor, drawn not from statistics but from viivd tales of their lives and his, and how they intertwined." --The Economist
"A sensative, sympathetic, unpatronizing portrayal of lives that are ususally ignored or lumped into ill-defined stereotype." --Finanical Times
Sudhir Venkatesh's latest book Floating City: A Rogue Sociologist Lost and Found in New York's Underground Economy--a memoir of sociological investigation revealing the true face of America's most diverse city--was published in September 2013 by The Penguin Press
-The Boston Globe
"Compelling . . . Venkatesh gives readers a window into a way of life that few Americans understand."
- Newsweek
"Whether you enjoy fiction, history, or biography you'll be drawn to Venkatesh's gripping retelling of his experiences . . . Gang Leader for a Day poignantly reminds us that there continue to be separate and unequal Americas that ultimately impact us all."
-Jesse L. Jackson, Jr. (D-IL)

The Arc line of Fractal Design cases fall into its performance category. As such, having plenty of airflow is key, as is the ability to install lots of high-end components and water-cooling gear. We've been thoroughly impressed by the latest cases in the range, the midi-tower Arc Midi R2 and the micro-ATX Arc Mini R2. With the Arc XL, Fractal has now also seen fit to make an Arc case suitable for those with larger motherboards and components, something it has also done previously with the low-noise Define range of cases.

The chassis certainly lives up to the XL in its name. At over 570mm tall it's capable of housing both E-ATX and XL-ATX motherboards, and is of a similar size to the Corsair Obsidian 750D. As expected, it sports the classic Fractal black and white colour scheme, with white PCI brackets and fan blades. It's also very much an Arc chassis, with the hefty mesh sections on the roof and front panel along with the large, tinted side panel window ensuring aesthetic uniformity throughout the range. Build quality is of the usual high standards – there's a little bend to the side panels but that's just a result of them being so large, and elsewhere the plastic and steel exterior is solid and sturdy.

The front mesh section clips on and off with ease thanks to a pair of push pins, and as usual it's backed by dust filtering material too. Removing it reveals a duo of 140mm/120mm fan mounts, with a single 140mm Silent Series R2 fan mounted in the top one. The design allows you to install fans here without popping off the entire front panel, which is handy. However, above this section are the four covers for the optical drive bays, which do require front panel removal to access.
The I/O panel is located on the roof, and comprises four USB ports (two being USB 3), dualaudio jacks, power and reset buttons and a fan control switch, which has 5V, 7V and 12V settings and can control up to three fans. The action of the power button is fine, but the reset one is too small to use your fingers with – this could become annoying in troubleshooting situations but it does mean you'll never accidentally press it when fumbling for a USB port or the like.

Practically the entire roof is formed from another mesh and dust filter combination. Unlike the front one this cannot be clipped in and out of place, but Fractal recommends simply cleaning it with a hoover while it's still attached. Beneath it there is room for three 120mm or 140mm fans, with another 140mm Silent Series R2 fan included in the furthest back mount. This is complemented by the case's third and final fan (the same model), which is fitted as a rear exhaust.
Moving to the bottom of the Arc XL, we find a set of feet that lift the case some way of the ground, and which are fitted with rubber rings to give it excellent grip on all surfaces. A slide out dust filter is fitted here, and it protects both the PSU and the last of the case's fan mounts, a 140mm/120mm one on the case floor. Unlike many cases, the filter here is relatively easy to replace without having to tilt the case on its side.
